Display the Header only on the first Page of a Report

Hello Birt Comunity 
 
I have a simple question for you. 
I defined a header for my report at the Masterpage these header should only displayed on the first page. 
I use Birt 2.5.1 and my header looks like this 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
if ( pageNumber == 1 )
{
params["header"].value
}
</pre>
But with this pice of code the header shows up on every page 
I am a totaly new to BIRT so forgive me for this simple question

Thanks and I hope you can help me

Hi Dude,

Welcome to our comunity. I knew there was a simpular post so i search within the Desinger BIRT Reprots Forum on Masterpage. And found the post I wanted to point you 2:

No use in repeating good scripting when there is already a good post out there rite

Hi mcremer
Thanks for the quick reply

Okay this would be a possibilty but isn?t there a better one because to add serveral Masterpages to make it happend is in my oppinion not the finest ?

Thanks anyway

Is it possible that pageNumber always returns 1 in Birt 2.5.1 ?

Below attached file implements Multiple Master Page based on Page Number but however when I view in PDF Version I get extra spaces in header. 
 
Appreciate any help in fixing this issue.

He made a script but as I pointed out:

I think i found it. your only hiding the grid INSIDE a grid so the space is left of the GRID that is empty. </blockquote>
 
So I'm afraid that are the options the script works but the space of the specific target in his example so if you dont mind the space always be there but the object not being visable to the end user I think you could go that way. 
 
Or if you want difrent types of info you could script using his script as a bassis to change the info of your Data Object.

Hi mcremer
I could not open this example because I am useing an older version of BIRT.

The solution to add an additional masterpage and switch after pageBreak to display/hide my headder works just fine.
But in my opinion a better solution would be to add an condition to the header like the if clause in my first post.
Now my question does pageNumber always returns 1 although the report has more pages ?

Thats what the example has. 
 
I sugest getting the new BIRT to open this report and check out the code. Also I sugest updating to at least eclipse BIRT 2.6.1 or 2.7
